37 Its estimated that the fashion industry generates 92 million tons of textile waste every year.* To tackle this, our brands are consciously looking at ways to extend the life of their products and responsibly deal with a product once it comes to the end of its life. We continue to explore ways to reuse resources and close the loop on waste. Repairs over replacement Berghaus has been working with a design principle of making long-lasting and repairable gear since it started in the 60s because keeping a product in use as long as possible reduces its impact. When gear does get weathered, it offers its customers free repairs through Repairhaus, its in-house repairs service. In 2022 it repaired 6,000 items for free. Second-life solutions Kickers started working with the preloved platform Reskinned to offer its customers the option to trade used footwear for online credit. Reskinned resells, repurposes or recycles these products so that nothing goes to waste. The team has multiple textile recycling solutions and is exploring ways to turn old fabrics into new ones through tech investment. *Fashion Revolution Circularity
